Default New 350z owner

Hey guys, I've been shopping for a daily driver for a while and finally pulled the trigger on my 05 350z roadster. It's a 6 spd manual, touring package. I'm really a bmw guy and currently own an 07 335i but bmw doesn't make any good manual convertibles (except the m3 which was out of my price range).


Anyway I was looking for about a month when this 350z was posted up. The seller did not have much pictures posted and when I came to look at it, it needed work done to it that I didn't feel like doing. As I was leaving the seller asked me to make him an offer. I did. Long story short he said yes and I ended up with the car for a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Yes, the alignment of the front bumper is off and yes the front body panels don't line up well, but I'm good with bodywork and it's more than justified by the price.


Here's a few pics of my z along with some obligatory pics of my 335i. I'm also on e90post so if you see me there don't be scared to say hi.

Yes it was involved in an accident, but I have done restorations on cars that were totaled before so this easy. I will probably end up respraying the front bumper because it has a lot of rock chips. 2007+ bumper- good eye. Paid $6,500.

Welcome to the forum.
Are you going to get 18's or 19's for it or stay with the 17's?
